Couldn't be happier!
On a recent trip to Chicago, where the temps were in the teens most of my time there, a friend I was traveling with had this coat. I brought my big, wool coat, the only thing I own for very cold weather, as I live in the deep south, and rarely encounter freezing temps. I was struggling with my big heavy coat on the tiny plane and wore it most of the flight, as I'm freezing on airplanes. So needless to say, it was an uncomfortable trip. I was so impressed at how light my friend's coat was, and how warm it seemed, that I inquired where she got it. So I bought one! I'm in between a size 8 and 10, so I ordered the medium. When zipped, it fits me snuggly, but not tight. It would be tight if I were a true size 12, I think. I also don't plan to wear it over thick sweaters, as I don't own any. But over normal clothing, it fits me just fine. It's very warm, and very light. Makes moving around in it quite easy. I'm also very short, but I like long coats. It hits me around my knees, which is fine for me. I also love that it is machine washable!

Beautiful coat
Wasn't sure which of 2 coats I wanted so I also ordered both this Ultrapackable Down Walker and the Parisian Field Coat..
Pros: This is a beautiful coat. The Plum color is exquisite. It is designed well so it is attractive even though it is a down coat and a bit puffy by nature. It is so light, soft and and comfortable I didn't want to take it off - ever. It felt like a non-stop snuggle!
The tall collar would be very welcome on a cold day but I didn't get to wear it outside. This coat is made of duck down. I've owned several goose down coats in the past which are very insulating. Duck down isn't so much. And the outer material of this one didn't seem like it would break the wind well. So, not sure how warm it would prove to be in a cold windy situation. It seemed well made.
it is very lightweight and it doesn't show wrinkles even when left squished tightly in a ball so could be great for traveling.
It was on sale and the price was very reasonable. I'm 5.5 ft tall, 135 lbs and usually order a large size in a coat to fit over sweaters. The large was sold out so I ordered a medium just in case it might work. It almost did - It fit everywhere but around the middle, so I had to return it.
Cons: It was sold out in my size!

Great coat
I had read the other reviews, so knew to order a little larger than I would normally. The coat feels great and packs into its pouch very nicely. Very light, yet I can tell that it can keep you pretty warm. Loved that the outside pockets are zipped and there's an inside pocket. I got this for a trip I'm taking to NYC in January, so wanted something that would keep me warmer than I usually need, yet not be too bulky or heavy. Only regret is that I ordered too soon - it's now $20 less with the year end sale. But a good value at $100.

Pretty and light
I'm a 6 or 8 and ordered a size up (medium) as suggested. It fits me just fine even without an extra sweater and is still shapely. However I need instructions on how to fold it neatly into its bag. Can someone help? I plan to take it to Macchu Pichu and perhaps Toronto.

Nice lightweight coat
I ordered this for my daughter who was a little upset that it was an XL instead of a L but I ordered one size up, as suggested, and it gave her room to layer, plus the sleeves were long enough. When I borrow it I'll have to roll the sleeves but that does not look like a problem. This is a very light weight jacket and seems perfect for travel.

Not Warm Enough
I don't think this coat would be warm enough for temps below 30, especially if it were windy. The wind cut right through this coat. I also purchased the Parisian Field Coat. The Parisian is much warmer, even though it is not down and it has a much cuter cut. I will be sending the Down Walker back and keeping the Parisian.

Light, warm, and comfy
I am extremely happy with this coat . I don't want to take it off. I wear it on cold mornings and feel deliciously warm. It fits beautifully, it is so easy to move around in it, and it's light as a feather.

love this coat!
Light as a feather ...breath of fresh air. The coat is so comfortable. I ask all my friends to try it on to check out how comfortable it is. I highly recommend. It is 90% down.
